Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Madame Germaine de Stael is often regarded as the "mistress to
an age," or (like England and Russia) one of the three great
European "powers" of the nineteenth century. She was in some sense
both, but she was also an important and influential writer whose
works, astonishingly, have not, until this volume, been translated
into English since the early nineteenth century. She absorbed the
leading ideas of the Enlightenment on literature, politics,
science, and the social order; turned many of them to her own uses
and then bequeathed them to the nineteenth century, which adopted
much of the Enlightenment through her works.
She had two related aims: by her writings on politics, to guide
Europe as it entered the republican era and to help it maintain its
cultural legacy and liberty; and to explain all literature by its
relation to social institutions (which has had a profound effect on
all subsequent studies of comparative literature).
Here, in clear and flowing English prose that conveys both the
personality and the style of the original-and that corrects the
errors of earlier translations-are selections from Madame Germaine
de Stael's major works, including Considerations on the Principal
Events of the French Revolution, Literature Considered in Its
Relation to Social Institutions, Essay on Fiction, On Germany, and
her reflections on Russian and English as well as German national
character. They make plain both her amazingly modern approach to
such subjects as politics, literature, science, education, and
women, and the tremendous repercussions her work has had.
Lebanon hosts the highest number of refugees per capita worldwide
and is central to European policies of outsourcing migration
management. Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty
is the first book to critically and comprehensively explore the
parallels between the country's engagement with the recent Syrian
refugee influx and the more protracted Palestinian presence.
Drawing on fieldwork, qualitative case-studies, and critical policy
analysis, it questions the dominant idea that the haphazardness,
inconsistency, and fragmentation of refugee governance are only the
result of forced displacement or host state fragility and the
related capacity problems. It demonstrates that the endemic
ambiguity that determines refugee governance also results from a
lack of political will to create coherent and comprehensive rules
of engagement to address refugee 'crises.' Building on emerging
literatures in the fields of critical refugee studies, hybrid
governance, and ignorance studies, it proposes an innovative
conceptual framework to capture the spatial, temporal, and
procedural dimensions of the uncertainty that refugees face and to
tease out the strategic components of the reproduction and
extension of such informality, liminality, and exceptionalism. In
developing the notion of a 'politics of uncertainty,' ambiguity is
explored as a component of a governmentality that enables the
control, exploitation, and expulsion of refugees. Introduction

THE FABRIC OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE Otti Berger created fabrics that
fundamentally changed the understanding of what textiles could be
and do. A core member of the experimental approach to textiles at
the Bauhaus, she also was a female entrepreneur in the frenzied
time that was the early 1930s in Berlin. Working closely with
architects of the New Objectivity movement such as Lilly Reich,
Ludwig Hilberseimer and Hans Scharoun, she designed upholstery and
wall tapestries, curtains and floor coverings that responded to
novel types of use and production methods, and thereby redefined
the relationship between aesthetics and function - with fascinating
results. To date Berger's textile work has only been explored in
fragments. This book is the first comprehensive study of its
complexity and beauty and makes her hitherto unpublished treatise
on fabrics and the methodology of textile production accessible. By
systematically arranging the fabrics according to their
application, Raum's research offers an entirely new perspective on
Berger's oeuvre that emphasizes the craftsmanship and
entrepreneurial side of her work, and appreciates the largely
unrecognized significance of textiles in the history of
architecture and design.
